Waimea Canyon

If this:
isn't on your bucket list...
add it now!

Waimea Canyon
on the island of
Kaua'i. 




We have visited Waimea Canyon multiple times, but this was our first hike through Koke'e State Park.

Pre-hike...sun's out, we're dry!
We chose to hike Pihea trail because we wanted to get to the Alakai Swamp,
but it was simply too wet/rainy to get that far.
I heard that the Awa'awapuhi Trail is a better bet on wetter days. 
Next time!

Just over that cliff is the Na Pali Coast...
a steep drop-off was a few feet away, but the fog felt like a safe barrier...interesting how the mind works.

Mid-hike...
starting to get muddy and damp
One of my favorite sounds is the crackle of a twig to awaken the senses from a state of stillness.
Ahoy there!

Post-hike...
totally soaked and happy

Press Play...I dare you.



aloha.
